TRAIL, an endogenous protein involved in immunosurveillance and a novel drug in clinical trials, is of particular interest as a cancer therapeutic because it can induce apoptosis in cancer cells but not in normal cells. Since some cancers develop resistance to TRAIL, safe and effective methods of TRAIL sensitization are of great clinical interest. This study explores how chemotherapy and oxidative stress affect TRAIL sensitivity and expression of proteins in the apoptotic pathway. Sensitivity to TRAIL was assessed in viability assays. Apoptosis was measured by caspase-3/7 activity and/or nuclear condensation using Hoechst staining. Western blotting was used to determine cleavage, phosphorylation, or alterations in protein expression. TRAIL reduced the viability of 5637 but not J82 and T24 bladder carcinoma cells. Chemotherapy with doxorubicin or cisplatin decreased the expression of the anti-apoptotic protein cFLIPS and increased caspase-8 cleavage, reversing TRAIL resistance in T24 cells. Specific targeting of cFLIPS by siRNA was insufficient for sensitization to TRAIL in T24 cells. However, chemotherapy-mediated TRAIL sensitization was mimicked by low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, which resulted in phosphorylation of translation elongation factor 2 (EF2) and reduced expression of several short half-life, anti-apoptotic proteins including FLIPS, XIAP, and survivin. Induction of oxidative stress by low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide may reverse TRAIL resistance and warrants the further exploration of hydrogen peroxide as an adjuvant intravesical treatment to lower the apoptotic threshold of bladder cancer cells.
